What is the melting point? Looking for high melting point for wax sculpting

I mixed it with Bee's wax to use in potting guitar pickups. The Bee's wax has definitely got a lower melting point, but in order to get it all melted I believe it was at around 200f and took quite a while for to amount I was using to completely melt. Note, I didn't break it up into really small peices though, which would have sped things up.

i don't see why not but it seems like a lot of extra trouble to me. You also might get the wax too hot and that would be a big problem. I recommend you just plan ahead and not risk messing with melted wax that could be potentially dangerous.

The cholcolate is excellent for melting. I do not know about reshaping with mold trays. I use it for cholcolate covered pretzels and it is the best by far.

I broke up the wax and put it in the container and plugged it in on high. I had no instructions either that I can recall. I was perplexed by the oval plastic piece and someone told me it goes on the bottom under the wax. I didn't use the gloves at all. Once melted the first time it seems to melt much quicker. I suppose I will drop the plastic in when I melt it again.

There really isn't a formula for measurement. You want to put a thin a layer of wax in circular motion just enough to cover the surface. Obviously, you can put as much as you want- but be prepared to do some serious buffing. Thin layer will be fine. Less is more here For sure, especially if you (I assume) have a black car. You want to make sure you buff off all the wax.

Its in a plastic container that may not hold up in the oven. But maybe in a pot on the stove? It takes a while for the wax to melt in my low watt microwave but it is probably possible on the stove. It would be a pain though.

Hi. Yes the shape is a little bigger than the size of a quarter. I used the mold to make wax melts and the individual melts are approximately 3-tenths of an ounce each. Hope that helps.

As there aren't any controls for the heating temperature, I wouldn't use it for melting wax for craft purposes. I'm not a crafter but I wouldn't trust it.

I use it for Gigi Honey Wax and it does takes a good 1/2 hour + to start melting.

No, this unit is only designed to melt lead. The melter is capable of reaching 900 degrees Fahrenheit. The melting point of aluminum is 1221 degrees Fahrenheit.

Yes, MAPP will work fine for that. The melting point is only a little higher than that of plumbing solder. Be sure to use liquid flux, NOT the paste flux.

Ive read that the typical plastic melting point is about 300 degrees C, heaters never go above 70 C. That

As great as Mortite is, it is NOT intended for high temp applications!! I can't tell you the actual melting point but I can tell you that you can set it on fire with an open flame. Do not use it around your fireplace, please.

Don't know, but it is adequate for melting lead! Will get too hot for normal use and cause excess oxidation, so keep it low enough to fill molds without solidifying too quickly. Play with it for a little while, and you will quickly find how to use it.

The wheels are nylon but very hard. I couldn't guess the melting point but you may contact ER Wagner and see what they say. I wouldn't be afraid to give it a try though.

It will definitely melt zinc, I use wheelweight lead alot and it has a lot of contaminants, as for the max temp I'm not sure. I'm going to guess around 1000 degrees but I know when you get it good and hot the coils and even the lead itself glow red in poor/dark lighting

I d on't wish to endorse anyting but here are the details, you decide how you wish to proceed. Each is the melting point of the three metals, Lead, the intended purpose of the pot, Aluminum your metal if interest and third, Ductile Cast Iron the material used in the pot. I hope this helps with your decision. 621.5F Lead 1,221F Aluminum 2,190F Ductile Cast Iron
